Easy Breakfast Burritos
These easy breakfast burritos are stuffed with crispy bacon, fluffy eggs, melty cheese and flavorful potatoes O'Brien. Make a big batch and freeze them for the whole week!
Ingredients
- 8 slices bacon
- 8 ounces frozen potatoes O'Brien , defrosted
- 1 Tablespoon butter
- 8 large eggs
- ½ cup shredded cheese , more if needed
- 6 flour tortillas, large , warmed
Optional: chopped onion, bell pepper, tomatoes, sour cream, salsa, hot sauce
Instructions
- Cook bacon. Heat a large skillet over medium-heat, add 8 slices bacon and pan fry until crisp. Then place on a paper towel lined plate to absorb extra grease.
- Pan fry potatoes. Add 8 ounces potatoes to the pan with about 1 Tablespoon bacon grease or 1 Tablespoon butter and cook according to package directions.
- Scramble eggs. While the potatoes are cooking, heat another large skillet to medium-high heat. Grease with cooking spray and add 1 Tablespoon butter. Whisk 8 eggs with 2 Tablespoons of water and pour into the skillet. Begin to pull the cooked outer edge to the center with a spatula to begin scrambling the eggs. Turn off the heat once they are 95% done. Then add salt and pepper to taste.
- To assemble the breakfast burritos, lay a tortilla out and fill it with 1/4 cup of the scrambled eggs, 1/4 cup of the potatoes, shredded cheese and any of the optional ingredients to taste. Roll up the tortilla and enjoy!
Notes
You can also use breakfast sausage or ham cubes in place of the bacon.
This recipe doubles easily, perfect for a big batch! To freeze, wrap each cooled burrito tightly in foil, label with the date and store in a freezer bag for up to 3 months. Move to the fridge the night before and reheat in the microwave for 3-5 minutes or in the oven at 400°F for 35-45 minutes.
